STUDENT EMPLOYMENT REGISTRATION AND JOB REFERRAL PROCEDURES

Working on and off campus is as easy as registering with Hire An Islander . Once you have registered, access to view these jobs will be verified. ƒ ƒ To obtain contact information, bring the job number to Career Services for a referral. ƒ ƒ After you receive the referral, it is your responsibility to contact the employer and set up the interview, or send your resume. (Referral does not guarantee you the job, they just help you get your foot in the door. The rest is up to you!) ƒ ƒ If the employer requests a faxed resume, we will be glad to fax it for you. The Student Employment Service (SES) is located in Career Services, University Center 304. The SES offers you a chance to expand your learning beyond the classroom both on and off campus. If you are interested in working on campus and you have been awarded College Work-Study as part of your financial assistance package, you will find these jobs on our website. If you have not been awarded Work-Study, but would still like to work on campus, there are jobs available on the Career Services website. ƒ ƒ All students are limited to 3 job referrals per day.
